OSPL Rd. 6 is open to all who have not qualified for the OSPL Champions League. OSPL Rd 6 will run for 5 weeks beginning on Wed. March 28-April 25, on Wednesdays. OSPL Champions League will run in mid-April to mid-May and conclude before HSNCT. Please sign up in the thread below.

BTW, the restriction of 2 kids per school is still in effect for now, but sign ups are currently open to everyone who is not in the Champions League already. In other words, this includes all OSPLites from earlier this year, including those in Rd. 5.

Assuming my team does't win this round, I'd love to do this again, I still can only do the latest time slot though.

Is there any way that there could be a session in the summer? I can't do it during the school year because of homework and such. I realize that the summer is probably really inconvenient/a break time for quizbowl, but I would definitely do OSPL if it was offered during the summer.

There are never breaks in quiz bowl.

I would like to sign up for the 6th round.

Signatures are particularly useful when I otherwise have no way of knowing who you are.

OSPL 2012-2013 will start in early August after the final ACE camp. You can probably get in on Round 1, but look for an announcement in July. I have just a few things to do between now and then...

Eh, I go to Chapel Hill, not East Chapel Hill, though I must say that their quiz bowl team is a lot better than ours. You can keep the East Chapel Hill, NC part on there though. The zoning line is a couple of streets away from my house.

Myself and a few DCC kids do frequent skype quizbowl sessions over the summer. You'd be more that welcome to join.
